I've used Odesk in the past for basic Internet research / housekeeping stuff. I emailed 5 people with one person responding who has been fantastic. Very easy to use on e you get used to the website. The one thing to pay attention to is to provide at least 2 examples of the finished work you want as well as all intermediate steps. This helps you get to know what you want and it helps them follow instructions. I started out with a one hour task and eventually moved up to about 10/15 hours per week. Extremely helpful.
